	Roy Hofheinz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roy Mark Hofheinz (April 10, 1912–November 22, 1982), popularly known as Judge Hofheinz, was mayor of the city of Houston, Texas from 1953 to 1955.
		Because Hofheinz was the first baseball team owner to put his team in a domed stadium and the first to use artificial turf, it has been suggested that "the baseball gods" placed a curse on the team.
		Hofheinz's son, Fred Hofheinz, served as mayor of Houston in the 1970s.

		That ex-governor is the redoubtable Edwin Edwards, who along with Houstonian Fred Hofheinz may, or may not, be in the soup.
		Hofheinz faces two indictments in a Louisiana gambling corruption case; Hofheinz, meanwhile, is named in a single indictment charging he gave Edwards payoffs to win construction and trash disposal contracts.
		Already, he is claiming the two informants whose tales led the FBI to wiretap him are in fact corrupt themselves: "I think it's a disgrace that the federal prosecutors who are supposed to stand for law and order and truth would wallow in the gutter" with such dubious characters.

		Fred (through Poe) didn't say where or when this photo was taken, but it must have been before 21 Jan 1952 when Jim Carrigan, the middle man in the middle row, was KIA - he was the "point man" mentioned in the citation which awarded to Sgt Oscar C. Jones (Entry #22)
		Fred also remembers that Dewey was KIA 31 Jul 1952 which, of course, was the 1st Battalion's biggest day on Kelly.
		As much as one would hope that Fred's memory is mistaken, I suspect that it is the Army records or my searching methods which have erred.

		Hofheinz earned a PhD in economics and a law degree from The University of Texas before coming back to Houston to manage his family's entertainment empire.
		Hofheinz owns a Martin D-18 guitar on which he pounds out Jimmy Rogers and Hank Williams tunes after he has ended the ribbon-cutting, speech-making, and council-presiding for the day.

		The only person who got paid was Fred Hofheinz, who split $1.5 million with Raintree Capital Company, a Houston mergers and acquisitions firm that negotiated the sale of the project to Wackenhut Corrections Corp.

		Fred L. Hofheinz of Lilly spoke at the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University in Washington as he received the Cardinal Cushing Medal for Support of Church Research.

		Hofheinz faulted U.S. bishops for relegating responsibility for lay ministry to an Office of Family, Laity, Women and Youth subcommittee.

		Fred L. Hofheinz of the Lilly Foundation, the most generous financial supporter of religious research in North America, worries about the relationship between younger priests and the ever expanding body of lay ministers in the modern church.
		Hofheinz notes that while a full 80 per cent of evangelical pastors see their ministry negatively affecting their own and their family life, the story is completely different in the Catholic Church.
		Nothing could be more wasteful of that love of God "that has no limits" than to allow the crisis Hofheinz sees "looming on the horizon" to take hold in our church.
